A Peek Into Our Trip to East TN (+ my goals for this week) and more...

My dad rented a big cabin outside of Gatlinburg and almost all of my extended family met up for the weekend. (We missed you, Nathaniel, Katherine, Genevieve, and Herbert). We had multiple bear sightings — which was exciting! (See my video here for an ...

A Peek Into Our Trip to East TN (+ my goals for this week)

My dad rented a big cabin outside of Gatlinburg and almost all of my extended family met up for the weekend. (We missed you, Nathaniel, Katherine, Genevieve, and Herbert).

We had multiple bear sightings — which was exciting! (See my video here for an even better view.)

Gatlinburg was really bustling with people so we mostly stayed at the cabin to avoid the crowds.

But we did get donuts from The Donut Friar.

And we watched them make taffy at the Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen.

My youngest brother with Kierstyn.

Lots of cousin time!

Reading with Grandpa!

And Grandma reading with the boys!

This little guy spent so much time playing with water bottles this weekend! It would roll and he would chase it and it was so funny to watch!

And more reading (the babies LOVE to be read to!)

My brother posted this on his IG stories from his grocery shopping trip with my parents to buy all the groceries for the weekend.

Here was the menu plan for the weekend. It was so yummy!

ButcherBox discount code for free Thanksgiving Turkey

After doing my ButcherBox review a while back, SO many of you were excited about trying ButcherBox and asked me if there’d be more discount codes in the future.

Due to Covid, ButcherBox had to temporarily pause their program and put customers on a waiting list.

But I have GREAT news!! Not only are they back to regular deliveries, but they’re also offering a HOT deal on a Thanksgiving Turkey right now that I knew I had to share with all of you!

ButcherBox Discount Code for All Natural Turkey

How to Sign Up for ButcherBox

If you’d like to sign up and take advantage of this deal, just follow these instructions!

After claiming your FREE Thanksgiving Turkey offer, you’ll be taken to the sign-up page, where you can choose between five different types of boxes:

I recommend doing a custom box because it allows you to customize the meat that they send and you are able to get exactly what you know you will use.

ButcherBox pricing options

Once you choose which box you’d like, then you pick your monthly box size. You can choose between a Classic Box ($128-$149/month) or a Big Box ($238-270/month). The price varies depending upon which type of meat box you chose.

After you’ve chosen your box size, then you can customize what they will send you. I like that you can see exactly what your options are and you can figure out how to get the best bang for your buck!

Then, just input your payment information and you’re done.

(Psst! You might wait a bit on the payment page, because an extra offer might pop up to add free bacon to your box — in addition to the free Thanksgiving Turkey offer!)
